Tsuyoshi Maekawa, born in Osaka, Japan, in 1936, is a distinguished artist linked to the Gutai Art Association, an avant-garde group founded in 1954. Joining Gutai in 1962, Maekawa gained recognition for his inventive use of materials, especially burlap, to craft textured, three-dimensional works. His art emphasizes the physicality of materials, frequently involving techniques such as cutting, sewing, and layering fabric to investigate the dynamic relationship between form and substance.
